Blu-rays might be higher quality 'cause it's taking longer to rip. Let us pray.

PLEASE

I know I said it was almost done but the file keeps getting bigger and it's almost 4GB now and it was "apparently" finished like an hour ago :neyde: I might need to cancel it 'cause I have to go to sleep, I'll try to put it earlier tomorrow :neyde:

In this case the BluRay is probably just an upscale of the original video which appears already low-res on the the DVD rips you uploaded on YouTube.

Generally speaking, an upscale of this type increases the size of the video file from the standard 720x480 pixels (480p - DVD) to 1920x1080 pixels (1080p HD - BluRay). During this type of process some enhancement filtering might be applied to take advantage of the higher resolution. But basically, the upscale will only blow up the details (or lack of) present on the original video. Even though, in regard of today's technology, the ability to create the missing pixels with appropriate software exists, it remains a tedious and time consuming work only achievable on a beefy computer and generally applied to single images. Anyway I have no doubt that this particular achievement will be made with movies in a near future (at least we'll finally gotta write off the cost of the giant 4K flatscreen TV in the living room !) :ladyhaha:

I also listened to the audio of the DVD rips and It sounds like the same soundtrack of the IEM CDs. Which seems like a no brainer since both DVDs and BluRays, like the audio CDS are Xavel products.

Please @Juanlittlem, know that I'm in no way trying to run down the amazing and enthusiastic ripping and uploading job you did for us all. I am really grateful for it. If I may ask for some more of your time, I'll be much obliged to have a simple phone picture of one of the Xavel audio CD spine (that small vertical portion of the CD you see when it's shelved) in order to properly finish my cover/inlay re-creation for the community. Thanks in advance.

As for the Blurays I think it's worth giving it a try, considering the original that was uploaded to youtube from night 2 was 1080! I'll let you guys know as soon as I have those :kara:

Thank you. But I meant the audio CD spine, not the BluRay's ! Maybe you only own the BR ?

Oh! I didnt buy the CDs with the audios, just the BluRays/DVDs. But I'd say they're the same.

Aaaa thanks ! I was under the impression I was mixing something... (and ready to improvise that spine layout based on the DVD's...)

So help ! @cdparky ! - If you happen to read this post, can you please take a picture of the spine (that.small.vertical.portion.of.the.CD.you.see.when.it's.shelved) of one TCB Tokyo IEM Xavel audio CD for me ? 

 

Thanks in advance !  :awesome:

Instead of looking for scans that maybe won’t appear soon, I took some time to re-create the cover & inlay for both Tokyo double CD bootlegs, based on the rare low-res pics I found out there. Besides the layout, fonts and pictures, I retained official colors from Chromatica posters and flyers.

- Cover out & in + inlay out & in -> standard transparent double CD jewel box.
- Cover back 120 -> custom adapted for slim polypropylene flexible 120x120 mm lowcost CD box.

Spines are missing. I don’t have any visual I can base a layout on.
Maybe some of you, original Tokyo bootlegs owner can take a pic of one of these CDs spine ?
I’ll be happy to update the current spineless inlay.

If you spot a typo or an error, just tell me, I’ll update asap.

Probably, if @Juanlittlem - who doesn't own a scanner iirc (cause you know, it's just simpler that way ;)) just take plain pictures of the front/back/spine of the DVD/BR covers and post them here... I'll see what I can do. But first, my plan is to finish the audio-CD covers...

I took this yesterday for a friend so let me know if this is enough or you need anything else, I also posted the spine yesterday so you should have everything. 1st night is pink, 2nd is grey/silverish, other than that they're the same.

Thanks for the pics. Looks like I have everything I need to re-create this covers. The graphic assets are very similar to the what's on the audio CD covers. Work will be easier then.
